Packers rookie WR Romeo Doubs scores first NFL touchdown

The first touchdown scored by rookie receiver Romeo Doubs in the NFL gave the Green Bay Packers a 7-3 lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Raymond James Stadium.

Doubs, a fourth-round pick from Nevada, caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers on 3rd-and-3 to create an opening-drive touchdown for the Packers.

It looked like a run-pass option (RPO) play. Rodgers pulled the ball and threw quick to Doubs, who found the end zone behind a clear-out block from Allen Lazard.

Doubs, who is filling in for veteran Sammy Watkins, caught three passes for 35 yards on the opening drive, including a 21-yard strike from Rodgers.
